I was given this spanner today.
New neighbour down the road found it in his garage, he thought it would be of use to me.
It is 12" long, there are names or some letters stamped under the Galv. finish, but can not make them out yet.
The RHS are 2 Hex. and 1 square, all are tapered so it looks like it is designed to fix 6 different fixings.
The left hand end has 2 squares and 1 hex fixings, again all tapered.
If handling it the impression it gives, is one of a good quality tool, but badly designed.
It does not feel comfortable in the hand.
Any one give some pointers as to what trade it is from or it's use.
(note to self, not to be used as part of the wind chime.)

Silly boy, that's what friends are for.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, friends are for drinking your beer or tea, talking rubbish, wasting hours of your time and never being about when you do need a hand.

Funny you should mention the plug, i may have to scrap her as i've not seen one like this before.Looks like it's got a 13a plug on it, won't fit those Spanish sockets, foreign lectric as well ........... Best sent it over to me
Lathe vs plug, lathe wins. When testing the weight i put it down on the plug.
